My Handsome Tutor

"Han Seo Hyun, you failed your exam, again?!" Mom stomped into my room.

"It's no big deal," I said sheepishly. "I'll pass the next exam."

"I'll get you a tutor to make sure you can pass your next exam," Mom said and walked out.

"What? A tutor?" I groaned and threw myself onto my bed.

Few days later, after I came back from school, I found a guy in the living room.

"Who are you?" I asked him.

He looked up. And all I could say was he was handsome. I could tell that he was about 170cm or taller. He was wearing a white shirt with a pair of jeans. Though he was wearing a pair of glasses, he still looked good.

"I'm Shim Chang Min, your tutor," He said.

"Are you serious?" I asked him. "You look like you're around my age. How can you be my tutor?"

"But I'm smart," He pushed up his glasses and smiled. "And, I'm from your school."

"What?" I tried to recall the name. "Shim Chang Min? You're the nerd?"

"Do I look like a nerd to you? I seldom go to school so people think that I'm nerd," Chang Min shook his head.

"You don't look smart, either," I told him.

"Whatever, can we start now?" Chang Min asked.

"Wait. Where's my mom?" I asked when I didn't see her in the living room and the kitchen.

"Oh, she said she had something else to do," Chang Min answered.

'God! Mom just leave me alone with some stranger?' I couldn't imagine that.

"Can we start now?" Chang Min asked.

"Okay," I said.

I lead him to my room. He sat down at the edge of my bed while I sat on the chair.

"What come first?" Chang Min asked me as I took out all my books from my bag.

"Chemistry," I said.

He started to teach me chapter by chapter. He even highlighted the main points that would come out in the exam. I couldn't really concentrate because I could feel his breathing.

"Erm, Seo Hyun, are you okay? You are blushing," Chang Min said.

"Yea...I am..." I said and we went back to studies.

Another school day had came. Everyday, I was anticipating to meet Chang Min, my handsome tutor. I believed that I had fall in love with him. But, what about him? Handsome guys like him wouldn't like me. They'd only pick up on hot and sexy girls.

"Yo! Seo Hyun!" I turned around to see who called me.

And it was the person I hated the most, the man who broke my heart into pieces and who betrayed me with my best girl friend---Choi Min Ho.

"What?" I asked him.

"Can't you be nice to your ex-boyfriend?" Min Ho smirked and walked closer towards me.

"Why should I be nice to you, the jerk who betrayed me?" I asked him.

"Really?" Min Ho grapped my wrist tightly. He leaned closer. He was about to kiss me until someone cut in.

"What the hell are you doing to her?" Chang Min looked at both of them.

"Chang Min..." I tried to get out from Min Ho's grap but he was stronger than I thought.

"Who the hell are you?" Min Ho asked.

"I'm her tutor. Get your hand off her now," Chang Min said.

"It's none of your business," Min Ho said.

Min Ho wanted to bring me to somewhere else but Chang Min blocked them.

"I said let her go," Chang Min said.

"Get lost," Min Ho said.

Just then, Chang Min grabbed Min Ho's hand, making him to jump.

"I said let her go," Chang Min threw Min Ho a dead glare.

Min Ho let me go and ran away. Coward. Chang Min took my hand and dragged me into his car. We didn't talk along the way. Finally, he stopped near a beach, not far away from my house.

"Seo Hyun, I want to tell you something," He broke the silence.

"What is it?" I asked him.

"I'm leaving soon," He answered, looking away from me.

"Why?" I asked. I didn't want him to leave.

"I'm going to continue my study in New Zealand," He answered.

"So, today will be your last day being my tutor," I said with sorrow.

"Yea..." He said.

That day, we studied again, for the last time. He promised me that he'd come back in three years time. And I secretly made a promise in my heart that I'd confess to him when he returned.

___Three Years Later___

It had been three years since Chang Min went to New Zealand. I never hear from him ever since he left. I bet he was having a good life there. This year would be my last year in university. I had studied hard to pass all the school exams, because I had promised him to do so. I walked to the park near my house and sat down on a bench. I looked up into the sky, missing him again.

"You should date with some guys," My best friend, Min Eun once told me.

I tried. I dated with two guys ever since Chang Min left. But, I'd compare them with Chang Min. At last, we ended breaking up.

Another day arrived. I dragged myself into the bathroom and changed my pyjamas. I wore a long-sleeve cotton shirt with a light blue skirt. After I put on some make-up, I drove off, heading to the university.

"Seo Hyun," I turned around and saw a guy smiling shyly at me.

"You are?" I asked him.

"I'm Onew. I loved you since freshman year. Will you go out with me? I promise to be a good boyfriend," Onew said.

"Erm..." I was thinking hard what to say but a familiar voice cut in.

"I'm sorry but she's going out with me," The familiar voice said.

I turned around and saw him, Shim Chang Min, the man I missed a lot these three years smiling at me. His hair was shorter than the last time I saw him. But, he still looked handsome. He was no longer using glasses.

"I'm back," Chang Min said as he walked closer to me.

I smiled at him, "You're back."

"So, Han Seo Hyun, are you free today after yoour class?" Chang Min asked me.

"Yea, why?" I asked.

"Well, maybe we can hang out," He said and left.

After my class ended, I walked to the gate and saw him leaning against his car. He smiled at me and opened the door for me. We came to a restaurant.

"Erm, Chang Min, are you sure that this restaurant is nice? It's empty," I said as we entered the restaurant.

"Trust me," He said.

He offered me to sit down as he disappeared into the kitchen. Later, he came out with two plates of lamb chop.

"How does it taste?" He asked me.

"Nice," I said. "But, where is all the waiters and chefs?"

"This is my restaurant and I haven't hire anyone," Chang Min rubbed the back of his neck.

"Oh, so what's the name of the restaurant?" I asked him.

"Chagiya," He answered. "I decieded to name it after the girl I love."

Suddenly, I felt someone stabbed my heart with knife. What did he mean by the girl he love? He loved someone while I was waiting for him to come back to confess to him.

"Seo Hyun, are you okay?" He looked at me worriedly.

"I'm sorry. I'm not feeling well," I said and stood up. I almost reached the door but he pulled my hand.

"Where are you going?" He turned me around to face him.

Tears started to fall down my cheeks.

"Seo Hyun? What's wrong? Why are you crying?" He asked.

"You jerk," I punched his chest. "I've been waiting for you for three years to confess to you. And now you say you love someone else."

"Let me explain," He wiped away my tears. "Three years ago, I fall in love with a stupid girl. But, I didn't know about her feeling. So, I studied hard in New Zealand to be a great man that she can lean. I want to confess my feeling to her but only make her thinks that I love someone else. I'm such an idiot."

"What do you mean?" I looked at him with my red eyes.

"I love you, my chagiya," He said and pressed his lips on mine.

I love you too, my handsome tutor.
